RSS 4 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Looking at getting a new driver and overheard fitters talking about next TS and new G series showing up soon. Does anyone have any news to share? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Golfspy_CG2 24,349 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not soon. But both will have new models. Titleist later this year and PING most likely January at the PGA Show if there is one. 6 Quote TS1 Fubuki 45g R Flex G410 FW 5, 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Phantom 5.5 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

Bschrempf 0 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Just FYI, I believe that Ian Fraser in a live feed today said "yes" on titleist but "no" on Ping. Any idea if Titleist would likely also release new fairway woods? That doesn't seem as automatic as some companies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea if Titleist would likely also release new fairway woods? That doesn't seem as automatic as some companies. Titleist always releases drivers and fairways together. Titleist is one of the most consistent companies in their releases. The changes have been when they moved hybrids without irons in the 816/716 lineup and when they added ap3 and then last year with the additional TS lines. Pretty much every company has standard releases cycles and release everything at the same time. Outside of PXG or when ping or titleist release an additional model like ts1/4 or when ping did lst mid release I can’t think of a company that has an irregular release. 1 Quote Driver: Titleist 917D3 9.5 with Graphite Design MAD Pro 65g S Wood: Titleist 917F2 with UST Mamiya Helium 5F4 Hybrid: Titleist 816H1 21 with Atmos Blue 85 S Irons: Titleist 718 AP3 4i, 718 CB 5-6, MB 7-9 with KBS $ Taper 125 Wedges: Vokey SM7 46/50/54/60 with DG s200 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to post Share on other sites

hckymeyer 6,208 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 From listening to Tony talk about the fall releases on the No Putts Given podcast there could still be some questions. There is still 2019 product on the shelves. 2020 product has not sold through at all like people were forecasting due to the global pandemic and most of retail being shut down. If we get a 2nd wave of covid and stores have to close again it's gonna get very interesting to see who discounts product first just to move through it. If current 2020 models from Taylormade and/or Callaway are on shelves with steep discounts it would be a very hard market to launch a new $500+ dollar driver in. I'm guessing as of right now a Titleist launch is still on the books, but with how fast everything has been changing when it comes to Covid it's not out of the realm that we see changes to release cycles for this season. 2 Quote Driver: Epic SZ w/ VA Composites Raijin 65 04 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Well I guess they have a least a few people on the marketing side that are in touch with "pop culture" as opposed to what most people think. And it won't be a drastic departure in naming, and I'm sure it'll leak out sooner or later. Just not from me 5 Quote TS1 Fubuki 45g R Flex G410 FW 5, 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Phantom 5.5 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

I had the good fortune of being hosted at the Ping factory back in college (sponsorship) and got to talk with John Solheim himself for a bit (he attended my college and sits on their board). He walked us through their naming processes and it was fascinating. One piece that jumped out at me was when they first started the G line, there was a wondering why they went from G2 to G5. No lie, it has to do with numerology. "3" is the number of the Trinity in Christianity and Solheim himself is an evangelical Christian and "4" is unlucky in many cultures (tetraphobia). So they went from G2 to G5. 14 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Subzero 9* with HZDRUS Smoke stiff 4-wood: Mavrik Subzero (16.5*) with Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI X 2-hybrid: GAPR Lo with stock KBS Hybrid 80g stiff 3i-PW: i210 blue dot, Power Spec, with TT DG S300 hard-stepped 50* SM7 TT DG S200 54*, and 58*: blue ion S18 with TT wedge Putter: Redwood Piper 0* Ball: Z STAR XV (but I'm not just going to leave a perfectly good ProV1/x laying around...)

So they went from G2 to G5. Then he would love the sermon I preached once using my G2 as an object lesson. It had to do with the difference between two Greek words, one for new as in brand new and the other for new and improved. I mentioned the G5. This was a great piece of info - how about why they would go from G30 back to G then up to G400? 4 Quote Ping G410 - set at 12 degrees, fade setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood G30 6-PW - Aerotech FT 500 shafts SCOR 48,52,56,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Link to post Share on other sites

Might be a missed opportunity for an outdoor sport surrounded by nature with an aging demographic. It might even chill some of the wannabe tour players out. They can call it the Masters Edition (like the Cobra AMP) for the hardos out there and leave the numbers for the stoners.
